■ Motion Control Design Guide
Allied Motion Technologies, Amherst, NY,
has released a new guide to its custom motion
control solutions for advanced medical equipment
applications. " Design Keys for Next
Generation Medical Equipment " highlights several
motors, drives, and control systems, as well
as the advantages of each for specific applications.
The company's industry experience, co-design and development
process, ISO 13485 certified production facilities, and global
supply chain are also covered. Specific application challenges and
solutions featured include patient breathing equipment, cancer
screening and oncology, medical hand tools and surgical robotics,
medical microscopes and imaging cameras, and more.

■ Servo Positioner
Destaco, Auburn Hills, MI, has added a
servo positioner to its portfolio. The PGM40
servo positioner has been designed for use in
small, medium, and relatively high-speed
positioning applications and can provide subpositioning on larger
servo-positioning setups. The servo positioner features a precisionengineered
parallel cam design, which enables it to combine high
indexing accuracy with rigid performance. It has low input inertia,
allowing it to operate more precisely while reducing the starting
torque required and demanding less overall torque from the servomotor.
The servo positioner has a high power-to-weight ratio and integrated
motor-clamp system.

■ Counterbalance Support Hinge
Southco, Concordville, PA, has released a
counterbalance support hinge that reduces the
total cost of lifting and positioning heavy panels
and lids. The support hinge is designed to be
used in tandem with the CB counterbalance
hinge in applications where the counterbalance
hinge can support the full torque requirements
of the panel or lid on its own. The support hinge enables ergonomic
lifting and position control when combined with a counterbalance
hinge by using stored energy to balance the weight distribution of a lid
or panel. The hinges are fully adjustable, allowing the experience of
opening and closing the panel to be tailored to the unique requirements
of the application.

■ UV-Cured Glob Top
EpoxySet, Woonsocket, RI, has introduced
an epoxy chemistry designed as a
glob top encapsulant that can be cured rapidly
under 365 LED light. The Flashbond
UV-3610 system was specifically developed
for fully automated smart card assembly
lines but is also suitable for dam and fill and chip module encapsulations.
It is very low shrinkage and produces a low ionic compound
that is resistant to moisture, humidity, and other environmental conditions.
With high-volume resistivity, it offers exceptional bond
strength to metal, ceramic, and glass. It has superior temperature
cycling performance from -55° to 150 °C. The halogen-free system
meets REACH and RoHS requirements.

■ 2D/3D Measurement System
Exact Metrology, Brookfield, WI, offers a
high-speed integrated 2D and 3D measurement
system. The InspecVision Planar is a 2D
inspection machine that allows manufacturers
to verify product quality simply and quickly
by performing 2D inspection, CAD comparisons,
and reverse engineering in seconds. Physical parts or even
paper, acetate, or electronic image files can be reverse engineered
to create CAD files. Reverse engineering processes can also be carried
out in 3D using optional 3D modules. For full 3D capability,
users simply add Opti-Scan 3D, while the SurfScan module extends
Planar to 2.5D.

■ SMT Jumpers
Keystone Electronics Corp., New
Hyde Park, NY, has released a series of
true-zero-ohm high- current SMT jump -
ers designed to replace zero-ohm resistors.
Quick and easy to set up, the jump -
ers are suited as true-zero-ohm resistor replacements without the
need to change board designs or layouts. Four resistor chip sizes are
offered to simplify designs and footprint template compatibility:
0402 chip size (Cat. # 5112), 0603 chip size (Cat. #5110), 0805 chip
size (Cat. #5106), and 1206 chip size (Cat. #5108). Manufactured
from copper with silver plating, the jumpers provide a low impedance
and circuit linkage with an identical footprint as a zero-ohm
resistor.

■ Power Entry Module
A power entry module from Schurter, Santa
Rosa, CA, provides a high level of functional
integration in minimal package dimensions.
The series DD11 power entry module is ideally
suited for equipment with low profile panels.
Consisting of an IEC appliance inlet (C14),
which is compatible with cord retention, 1- or 2-pole fuse holder, and
power ON/OFF switch, the module is available with side-mounting
flanges in addition to the existing model with top and bottom flanges.
Ideal for use in devices with limited space, it is suitable for applications
in which high electrical and mechanical loads are present at the same
time. Especially suited for medical applications, the series is designed
to comply with IEC 60601-2.

■ Vision System
L.S. Starrett, Athol, MA, has enhanced
its multi-sensor vision system with a 0.14
magnification lens. The AVR-FOV 0.14X
offers a field of view of 2.36 × 1.90 in.
(60 × 48 mm). For greater efficiency and
accuracy, more of the part can be viewed
in every image on the system. Superimage technology, which allows
multiple images to be stitched together to form one larger image,
together with touch probe technology, enables the system to accurately
inspect a wide range of features on large or complex parts, as
well as on multiple small parts. It is equipped with the M3 software
package from MetLogix, a traditional mouse, and a touchscreen
monitor.
